ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing image artifacts due to signal variations in the course of examining a subject using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques includes the acquisition of NMR data for imaging the object. The NMR data is composed of a number of views. The acquisition of each view includes the implementation of a pulse sequence to generate an NMR signal and application of a magnetic gradient along at least one dimensional axis of the object. A gating technique is used to define a window during a portion of each respiratory cycle and NMR data is acquired only during each window. A view ordering technique is employed during the data acquisition by altering the magnitude of a field gradient in a nonmonotonic manner.
